I think it booked at advantage. We have someone who usually helps us book our trips from our end and a dedicated Pps agent who books it from their end so we don't book online. Don't think we get seats released. Usually we just say we need xx number of R and J and they just tell us how many we...

Yes very much status dependent these days. From my end there's ready availability across Europe. In fact just booked another 3 x R award from syd to Europe return

I posted this in another thread and reposting here. Re: availability on SQ. I think availability is just becoming a lot more status dependent.

As someone who is fortunate enough to be on the top end of the KF program (PPS solitaire both my wife and I >10 years), i must say things at this part of the world have been better than i've ever experienced. Over the last few years, and especially since COVID, KF have really stepped up their...

Got an email from payment logic today. Saying We’ve launched a new platform that enables individuals to pay their personal and household bills with their American Express personal cards at only 1.3%. (inc GST) You have been pre-selected as one of the first clients to gain access to our new...

We have quite a few times. In F and R but only through PPS. Have a few lined up this year and next. Including one flight with 4 R at advantage and 2 cash fares.

Yes. Another opportunity for kf members to have first dibs.

VA don't have the same access to sq award inventory which has always been mostly reserved for kf member redemptions.

My bad I didn't read your post correctly. I missed out "saver". 🤦‍♂️.

FWIW it might be increasingly status dependent with the recent changes.. More so than before. I'm not looking to book anything but can see fair bit of availability

You are probably right I'm just writing based on what I remember reading on blogs or forums previously. Certainly not talking from first hand experience

My understanding is that for non status pax, there is the cancellation fee ($75usd per ticket I believe). The bigger catch here is if you are using expiring miles. If you have miles expiring July 2022 which are used in the booking, and later cancel that booking, say in August 2022.. The miles...

Yes status dependent

SQ, unlike qantas and virgin, don't care about empty premium seats. They prefer to maintain the "exclusivity" of their premium cabins. Similar to cathay. So unlike qf and American carriers granting upgrade requests to fill premium cabins and getting the extra revenue from those, sq won't do...

Replying to this and a few other subsequent posts. Sorry if mine came across as a boast - I didn't mean it that way. All it was meant to be was to proffer an explanation to OP post about where the awards had gone. I'm definitely travelling during the time I booked 2 different dates, but the...

I don't know if you're being serious here or just having a dig but I don't think this "game" is ever designed to be fair, or equal. It would apply to all carriers and loyalty programs - they want their most loyal customers rewarded and looked after. Sq do that exceptionally well for us, in turn...

I think you're probably right there. We have block booked between 4-6 seats a flight, mix of F/J savers across a large swathe of dates. 1 week reserved as a block. Others in the family also having done the same. FWIW on my end still also seeing more saver availability both in F and J so the...

We got contacted by our pps person today offering reservations across a span of dates so we took quite a few seats across dates and different ports as we aren't sure exactly what we wanted. So I suspect a lot of awards are being prioritised for status pax. Especially easy when no fees involved...

3 biz depends on routes but if booked early enough should be easy to get. Easier if you have status. We haven't had issues swapping seats in the past. We usually travel in a group of 4-8 people in a mix of first and business. Intermingling as long as its not a rowdy crowd crammed into first was...

I must say it's not really a surprise. And the last devaluation was in 2018 (I think) so it's been some time coming. Probably held off until some normality restored I.e. Now. Too many people with too many miles stashed over the last few years. All waiting to burn their miles as the rolling...
